    What does “non-live-service multiplayer mode” mean? Just release a new game mode and don’t update it anymore? Edit: I mean, is Mario Kart games a non-live-service multiplayer mode to you?

      Sure, don’t update it, and it will continue to exist without further intervention from the developer. We used to get this all the time. A multiplayer mode that isn’t expected to continue to grow or maintain an active player base month after month, because that’s an absurd goal to hit that only a lucky few will ever succeed at under the best of circumstances.
